So far, the truth table for the Microwave is

door

start button

output

closed

pressed

True

closed

NOT pressed

False

open

pressed

False

open

NOT pressed

False

I want the Microwave to only HEAT UP food when the door is closed AND the timer is set (to stop it from burning the food) AND the start button is pressed. The inputs for the Microwave will then be

  • is the Microwave door closed?

  • is the Microwave timer set?

  • was the start button pressed?

RED: make it fail

  • I go back to the terminal where the tests are running

  • is the Microwave timer set?

  • was the start button pressed?

  • is the Microwave temperature too hot?

refactor microwave function

25    if not (
26        closed_door
27        and timer_set
28        and not too_hot
29        and pressed_start
30    ):
31        return False
32    return True

    the tests are green again.

  • I add an else clause to make it clearer

    25    if not (
26        closed_door
27        and timer_set
28        and not too_hot
29        and pressed_start
30    ):
31        return False
32    else:
33        return True

    the tests are still green.

  • I use Logical Negation (NOT) to write the else clause in relation to the if statement

    32    # else:
33    if not not (
34        closed_door
35        and timer_set
36        and not too_hot
37        and pressed_start
38    ):
39        return True

    still green.

  • I cancel out the nots

    32    # else:
33    # if not not (
34    if (
35        closed_door
36        and timer_set
37        and not too_hot
38        and pressed_start
39    ):
40        return True

    green.

  • I add a conditional expression

     1def microwave(
 2        closed_door=False, pressed_start=False,
 3        timer_set=False, too_hot=False,
 4    ):
 5    return (
 6        closed_door
 7        and timer_set
 8        and not too_hot
 9        and pressed_start
10    )
11    # if not closed_door:

    the tests are still green.

  • I remove the commented lines from the microwave function

     1def microwave(
 2        closed_door=False, pressed_start=False,
 3        timer_set=False, too_hot=False,
 4    ):
 5    return (
 6        closed_door
 7        and timer_set
 8        and not too_hot
 9        and pressed_start
10    )

  • I add a git commit message in the other terminal

    git commit -am 'refactor microwave function'

close the project

  • I close tests/test_microwave.py and src/microwave/__init__.py

  • I click in the terminal where the tests are running

  • I use q on the keyboard to leave the tests. The terminal shows

    .../pumping_python

    I am back in the pumping_python directory.

review

I ran tests for a Microwave with these inputs:

  • is the Microwave door closed?

  • is the timer set?

  • is the Microwave too hot?

  • was the start button pressed?

and got this truth table

door

timer

start button

too hot

output

closed

set

pressed

too hot

False

closed

set

pressed

NOT too hot

True

closed

set

NOT pressed

too hot

False

closed

NOT pressed

NOT too hot

False

door

start button

too hot

output

closed

NOT set

pressed

too hot

False

The only time this Microwave heats up food is when the Microwave door is closed AND the timer is set AND the Microwave temperature is NOT too hot AND the start button is pressed.
